Marionette
No puppet, no liar, won't bend my lips to wire, NoDon't pressurize me soDon't gamble, with my life, or you won't live to do it twiceOh take some good advice from meAnd let the wires rockAll dressed in black so nobody sees youSmile in the wings, tell me I please youCall me a king and watch for the wordworm to choke meAnd you're like a giraffe, the performance is poorWatch the audience laugh as my head hits the floorWhen I'm broken in half you still reach for the floorStop!I've had enough of thisThe pantomime's reversedI need, you feedI greed, you bleedMarionette, I ain't one yetTeacher's pet, Well you'd better forget itMarionette, I ain't one yetTeacher's pet, Go check your stocks and sharesAnd when the coffin comes make sure there's room for twoYou lied, I ledI died, You're deadMarionette, I ain't one yetLetras de cancionesTeacher's pet, You'd better forget itMarionette, I ain't one yetTeacher's pet, go check your productA traitor, deceiver, a groovy disbeliever I thoughtA puppet was a thing cheap-taught, No wayCreator, conceiver, romantic love receiver, caught"Who are you""The nerve""I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I wanna get out, IWanna get out,Ah!Oh he wanna play chords to the chick on the streetHe wanna play words to a world that don't speakHe wanna play people who play hide 'n' seek when they don't talkHe wanna play a riff to the man with the wiresHe wanna play lead but his hand's getting tiredHe just wanna play but don't know how to say, stop!OK, the show's been funBut my wood's begun to warpThey won,I'm doneNew one, begunMarionette, I did my bestTeacher's pet, It just couldn't lastMarionette, Get me out of this messTeacher's little pet, It happened so fastMarionette, Now I need a restTeacher's pet, Where's my sanity gone, Mother?Marionette, I did my bestTeacher's little pet, I'm just like all the othersThey gambled, with my lifeAnd now I've lost my will to fightOh God these wires are so tight,I'm just a marionette.
